Evening all,
I can report that GC8609 is back on the road and making (mostly) all the right noises. I'm being gentle with the newly-rebuilt engine till it's properly run in, and finding a Vintage AC6 a fun thing to drive.
This car was fitted with triple SUs in the 1950s. The carbs are quite worn, and I'm getting a fair amount of fuel standoff from the air intakes. In the long-term (and given the cost of a new set of SUs) I'm thinking about changing it back to the original Stromberg set-up.
Does anyone have any views on that, and does anyone have an old stromberg/manifold on the shelf?
Many thanks,
Geoffrey
